Advanced Index Search Crashes Acrobat Pro and Reader

I have a problem of which I've not been able to find a similar past experience. Acrobat Pro 9.5 and Reader X both crash on a Windows 7 PC whenever I initiate a search using our Adobe-created index files. These index files work for every other computer on our Network and all relevant users have the same permissions to access the indexes. I've trashed the preferences folder and even uninstalled and reinstalled both programs. The functions are not relegated to a particular user on the machine as the problem is the same across the board, so I've narrowed the problem down to being on the PC itself. I've not seen this as a known issue anywhere nor seen people write about this as a past issue. Any and all help appreciated, and thanks in advance!

Bump. Y'know, for kids.

  • Acrobat Pro and Reader fighting for Safari frameworks folder...

    We manage hundreds of Macs of which most are at 10.4.8.
    We have both Acrobat Pro and Reader 7.0.8 installed on all Macs.
    Sometime within the last few weeks something has changed on our systems (eg: upgrading from something under 10.4.8 to 10.4.8) that is causing Acrobat Pro and Reader to fight for the Safari.app/Contents/Frameworks/ folder. This folder contains aliases to either Pro or Reader frameworks within that Acrobat app's own frameworks folder (...Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/Frameworks/)
    This issue is that the end user is prompted to authenticate for either Reader or Pro to "repair itself" which it is just changing the aliases within the Safari Frameworks folder to point to their own frameworks.
    If I set Preview as the default pdf viewer and then delete Acrobat Reader so that only Preview and Acrobat Pro are on the client, then it seems to work beautifully without authentication request. We would like to keep Reader on the systems though. We use Sassafras' Keyserver with a limited number of licenses for Acrobat Pro.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Found a solution, etc?
    Thanks!

    I agree with rikbarry - I finally reinstalled Acrobat, then ran the 
    update to 9.4.5. The updater took nearly an hour to finish which can't 
    be normal, but the software appears to be the correct version now.
    I work for a very small graphic design company and use an older emac 
    that has pretty much reached its shelf life for many apps and OS. 
    Could my aging computer be contributing to the problem?
    Because we depend heavily on pdf workflow, I chose to reinstall 
    WITHOUT running the uninstaller first, as the 9.4.4 version was at 
    least still functioning. I was somewhat surprised that it worked, and 
    I am NOT looking forward to the next updater.

  • Acrobat Pro and Reader 9.4.4 to 9.4.5 Updates Fail

    I was unable to get a satisfying answer via phone support, and after connecting with a supervisor, I was disconnected. So here goes...
    (Mac OS X 10.6.8) Adobe Updater 6  began notifying me recently that updates were available for Adobe Reader from 9.4.4 to 9.4.5, but my attempts to follow instructions resulted in Error 1301 "The update could not be applied because the Adobe Reader application contents were modified since the original installation. Please reinstall Adobe Reader and check for updates again."
    Adobe updater soon notified me of the need to update my Acrobat Pro from 9.4.4 to 9.4.5, but but my attempts to follow instructions resulted in Error 1301 "The update could not be applied because the Acrobat Pro application contents were modified since the original installation. Please reinstall Acrobat Pro and check for updates again."
    When Adobe updates its software, I shouldn't have to "reinstall" old software and "check for updates again" in order to install the update. Surely Adobe can offer a more direct, convenient way for customers to update their licensed software?

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro and Reader Freeze

    Everytime I open Adobe Acrobat Pro or Reader I am unabe to open the preferences menu.  Program freezes up.  Also when I hit print the program also freezes.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times with no success.

    Which version (and sub-version)? Why do you have both Reader and Acrobat installed? Before AAX this was not a recommended combination at all.
    You should be able to delete the Reader and repair Acrobat. If you do not have the most current version of Acrobat, you should do an update(s). If you uninstall and reinstall again, before the reinstall, deleted any left over parts of the Acrobat folder and run a registry cleanup utility (the MS one if you can get it -- MS quit distributing it -- or CCleaner). Then reinstall. Typically the repair and the updates should take care of things unless you have gotten a corrupt plug-in included somehow.

  • Acrobat v6 Pro and Reader 9 are fighting

    My Contact
    nha khoa
    So one of my users is in a different state, so I can not get my hands on his laptop. But his issue is as follows.
    Using IE 7, whenever he opens a PDF it opens Acrobat v6 Pro, but gives an error saying it needs Acrobat v8 or 9. He has v9 Reader loaded, but IE will not use it. In FF we told it to open the PDF extension with Acrobat Reader 9, and this has solved the issue there.
    FYI, opening a PDF directly from his computer uses v9 reader.
    What have I done so far?
    1) Had him change the Windows Default Application to open PDF's with v9.0 Reader. - This did not work
    2) Had him change the default to v6 Pro then back to v9 Reader (maybe it just needed a reset) - still no good.
    3) he had installed 9 reader then 6 Pro, I had him uninstall and then reinstall v9 --- issue not resolved.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -MF

    The reason that your user gets odd behavior is because Acrobat 6 and Reader 9 use different files to open the PDF within the Internet Explorer web browser. Acrobat 6 uses an ActiveX control name "PDF.ocx". Reader 9 uses a DLL called "AcroPDF.dll". When you have both applications installed, which I believe is against Adobe's recommendations, there is a conflict and hence the error message.
    On the other hand, FireFox uses the old Netscape plug-in "nppdf32.dll" so there is no co-relation in the web browser preference setting for FireFox.

  • Need help - Print Menue in Acrobat Pro and Standard

    Hello,
    at first, i have to apologize for my bad englisch because I'm german.
    I downloaded a Trial of Acrobat pro and there I hava an extended Print menue where I can choose individual Color Profiles.
    There is an image attached.
    But I don't really need the Acobat pro Features, because I need Acrobat only for Color Printing on my Printer. And it ist expensive.
    So my Question to you is: Is this extended Print menue also in Acobat 9 Standard?
    There is no Trial, so that I hope, that someone can help me.
    Can I also set this settings in Acrobat 9 Standard?
    Thank you very much for helping me with my buying decision.
    Greetings from Munich
    Sebastian

    The Advanced Print menu in 9 Standard does not have all of the options that are in your screen shot.
    Checked with a coworker who has 9 Standard, and the options are much more limited. (I have 8 Pro).
    Bad news is you would need 9 Pro.
    Saw this the other day; sorry for the slow answer, good luck.

  • Fillable form created with Acrobat Pro and sent to iPad by email.

    I Create a Fillable form in Acrobat Pro and emailed it to an iPad. I loaded the PDF into Acrobat Reader for iOS. The file is opened, all fields filled and then it is emailed. So far so good.  I then exit reader iOS. Later when I come back in and open the file the fields are still filled. If I do this same process on a windows PC Acrobat reader functions exactly the same but will not save the data in the form when the application is exited. This is exactly what I want. How do I get Reader iOS to perform in this manner? It is imperative that the fields in this form be empty every time I open it on the iPad. 
    THanks

    If I open your Form with Reader XI, modify it, then close it, I am prompted to Save.  If I select “Don’t Save”, then, of course, the modification is not saved.  If I select “Save”, the modification is saved.  So it does not appear that any logic has been embedded into the form that clears the modifications prior to Save.  Its possible that older versions of Reader do not permit Save, however, a user using the current version of Reader: Reader XI would need to be trained to select the “Don’t Save” button for your workflow to be valid.
    With the Mobile Reader, save is implicit.  So there is no prompt to Save on close.  The modifications are saved automatically.
    If you want to start with a reset form each time it is opened, there are a couple alternatives:
    Users can duplicate the unfilled form and work with the duplicate each time, thereby leaving the original in its unfilled state.
    You can embed some instructions into the form that clear its contents on form open.  Note that with this option, the prior content (pre-clear) will still be in the file even though it is not presented to the user.  This would be a problem if multiple users were using the same device and the form content were sensitive.
    I’ve sent you a version of your form with option 2. implemented that you can try.

  • Adobe Acrobat X and Reader XI

    Hello,
    Can Adobe Acrobat X (pro) and Reader XI installed at the same time?
    I'm asking this because I need Acrobat to create PDF files, but I want to read PDF files in the latest version of Reader.
    Won't it damage the installation of Acrobat or Reader?
    Thanks.

    It's pretty easy to assign the default program used to open a file type:
    Acrobat X Pro vs. Reader XI.  Getting Pro to open as default?

  • I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

    I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

    Acrobat XI is not distributed with Designer. Designer is now a separate product. You can create forms in Acrobat as an AcroForm or using Forms Central (an online forms program). You can print the form to a new PDF and then recreate the fields in Acrobat using the recognize form fields. You will likely have to fix the form fields, but that would be the process. Generally, once a form is taken to Designer, you can't bring it back without such steps.
    Designer is available with AA8 - AAX, but since is a separate product as I indicated.

  • I just purchased a month to month subscription for Acrobat Pro and I am getting an error when I try to download the software.

    I just purchased a month to month subscription for Acrobat Pro and I am getting an error when I try to download the software. after about 50% of the way, it just crashes.
    Thank you,
    JTF

    I am having the same problem - the install crashes around 40%. 
    I am using MAC OS 10.10.2 and purchased Acrobat Pro monthly subscription.  The error message is: 
    'Acrobat installer has encountered an unexpected failure.  Please try again.  If it continues to fail, contact Adobe support.'
    I have tried several times but keep getting the same error message.  Any ideas?

  • Problem with Adobe Pro and Reader on terminal server

    Hi,
    We have have a Terminal Server environment with Adobe Pro and Reader. We have security for Adobe Pro, so only certain user has access to Adobe Pro and all users has access to Adobe Reader.
    Some users receive many email with pdf's attachments in Outlook and need to print these attachments. They use the Outlook function to print email and attachment automatically. The users who has access to Adobe Pro can print attachment automatically with no problem.
    The problem is user who only have access to Adobe Reader. The user can't print attachment automatically with the email, only the email is printed. But, they can open attachment and print with Adobe Reader. But, it's impossible to open each attachment because there are so many.
    Thanks for your help.
    Jonathan

    Hi,
    So if I understand correctly,
    1. You have installed Acrobat Pro & Reader on a Terminal server.
    2. You have created a security group in your Active Directory Users & Computers for users having access to Acrobat
    3. You have set permissions on C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe and C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrotray.exe on the terminal server and provided access only to the security group created above.
    4. Users are accessing the Terminal server through RDWeb or connecting remotely through MSTSC (RDP) or using a .RDP file
    5. Users get emails with PDF attachments and print the mail directly without opening the PDF in Reader.
    Users check the box to print the attachments with the mail (see snapshot below):
    Some questions:
    1. What is the OS and platform (x86 or x64) of the terminal server?
    2. What are the versions of Acrobat & Reader on the terminal server?
    Thanks,
    Vinod

  • Install order of Acrobat Pro and other CC applications

    I work at a college and we're just getting started with Creative Cloud. When setting up the first seat of CC for my institution, it was a device license on a Windows 7 system. Only after my first attempt failed did I find the instructions for the command-line install of Acrobat Pro, and that it needed to be done before any other CC applications. This was surprising, but the instructions were effective after I uninstalled everything and started over.
    Now I have a named user to set up on a Mac OS 10.9.5 system, and I'd like to do it right the first time. Anyone out there have any advice for me on this?
    TIA, David

    The command line install for Acrobat Pro Windows 7 is not that bad, the install information is all included in the packager once the its created.
    In your exceptions folder there is file called Exceptioninfo.txt, if you read this you will see the correct way to install using command line.  Below is an example of how to create a batch file to double click instead of typing these commands repeatedly.
    Going even one step further you can do the following.
    1) Copy the deployment package to the desktop
    2) in the Exceptions folder create a new text document and call it "Acrobat_installer" or something of that nature, copy and paste the following into it.
    cd \users\(username) \desktop\(Package folder name)\(package name)\Exceptions
    ExceptionDeployer --workflow=install --mode=pre
    3) Enter your windows user profile name in (user name) - Enter the (package folder name) enter the (package name you created)
    4) Save the text document as "Acrobat_installer.bat"
    Keep in mind you will copy this .bat file into the exceptions folder of your deployment package.
    Lastly ensuring the user name is correct, run the batch file(.bat)  on the PC.
    Here is my example:  Bold are the parts I mentioned above.
    cd users\cpreslar\desktop\TAG_CCIP_7_14_2014\TAG Creative Cloud Installer Package 7142014\Exceptions
    ExceptionDeployer --workflow=install --mode=pre
    Feel free to use this next time you have to do a windows deployment.
